WASHINGTON  Outgoing US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who fell ill in early December and hasn't been seen in public since, will be back at her desk on Monday, her closest aide said.

"She's recuperating at home," and will take up her official duties again "next week" Philippe Reines wrote in brief email to AFP when asked about the health of Washington's most traveled top diplomat.

**SNIP**

Her lengthy absence from public life has sparked claims from some of her fiercer critics that she is trying to avoid testifying in a congressional investigation into a deadly attack on a US consulate in Libya.

She issued a long statement paying tribute to her successor, and the State Department has regularly assured the public that Clinton continues to work from home, but that has not prevented questions over her three weeks of absence.

On the upside, Hellery’s immaculate concussion has caused her to remember how the Rose Law Firm billing records magically appeared, why she kept 800 FBI files on her political opponents, and who killed Vince Foster.

1. I find it amusing (but not surprising) that her (alleged) husband has had nothing to say. Do they even e-mail each other?

2. Back during the Monica Lewinsky news cycles, (and IIRC) Bill went to china, and spent an extra week or so there, patiently waiting for the news "trail" to cool down a bit. This appears to be the same strat, kinda, does it not?

Maybe she had a facial peel, some fillers put in her face and her eye lids done that would put you out of the public eye for a couple of weeks. She is a train wreck and a scam artist how she gets away with the things she does I can not fathom.

How can we even begin to mix metaphors on Hillery? This was a blow to the head , not a head for a blow.

I, for one cannot wait for Hillary’s testimony. It will be the best Kabuki theater since Bill’s, “The meaning of is, is” on 60 Minutes. I can see it now. Hillary in a wheel chair with bandages around her head, IV tubes and bottles dangling from the poles, at least one doctor and two nurses in a attendance. The Senators and Representatives all being very sympathetic and gentle. Then the Washington press corpse spending the next month or so telling us, how brave and heroic Ms Clinton is.

I bet she shows up at the testimony with a bike helmet on and apologizes that she won’t be able to answer any question because the concussion gave her amnesia about Benghazi but thinks she will be OK again in about three years

Not only has it cooled down but the financial cliff crap (probably with absolutely no new input from the intransigent Precedent) will be one of the only two HOT HOT HOT stories on TV along with continued wallowing in the blood of those innocent children and their devastated parents despite no new developments there.
